<p>@Whattodo122 it only happens occasionally but it turns green </p>
<p>like flat green? I think that might be an issue with your browser, that isn’t happening to anyone i know</p>
<p>I am worried because I have written recommendation letters myself 
</p>

How come?</p>
<p>@chncsy it’s a bit hard to navigate the eli account website but eventually you’ll see a blue “application checklist” hyperlink on one of the pages the eli account links to. you click this and it tells you what’s been received and such.</p>
<p>@Musicmom2015 - my daughter had both.</p>
<p>@apesrock - that is patently untrue. They do not pick and choose who to interview based upon a pre-screening of applicants. It is based solely on the number of interviewers in your area and the number of applicants that can be handled by that number. Some years I have more than others. The names are sent to the Chair of the Alumni Schools Committee in the area in question and they then distribute them to available alumni. The number of alumni come and go. Some years they may be busy and decide not to interview or they may move. Or, if they have a child applying, they have to recuse themselves. But it is definitely not done based on presorting.</p>
<p>Yale will tell you the day and time the decisions will be available. They will not come out ONE MINUTE earlier. When the time comes, you will be able to go to the link and your answer will be there. Hopefully you will see the singing Bulldog.</p>
<p>The Ivies do not all release decisions on the same day. Last year, Harvard came out on Friday the 13th. Yale’s came out Monday the 16th. If you’ve applied, they will send you a message letting you know when you can log in and get your answer.</p>
<p>Had my interview today after school, it was pretty eh. I think it probably hurt me more than it helped me. She just talked about her own days at Yale most of the time, so at least it was informative. There were two things on my resume that I was hoping she’d ask about so I could elaborate my involvement, but she only looked at the first three things and then closed it. She was really nice though and gave me a positive comment at the end, though I didn’t find it very reassuring. </p>
<p>I’m not distressed or anything though, I know interviews only hold a small if any weight. </p>
<p>@Tperry1982 I, like the other students on this forum, am anxious to find out my decision. As a first-gen, minority-hook, etc applicant…will my 1950 SAT bring down my chances greatly? I just noticed that the international student on this forum was concerned with his scores and I’m curious as to what your take is, and how much of an impact that number will have in the SCEA process…</p>
<p>Hey guys! Lets keep this thread active as the countdown to decisions ensues. Anybody read any good books lately? I’m currently reading The God of Small Things.</p>
<p>@chncsy, just please don’t turn it into the H thread. They seem intent on getting over #2000 or something; the posts have become so fluffy that I can’t bear to read them. </p>
<p>I cannot and will not chance anyone. Your SAT score is just a piece of the puzzle and at this point you cannot change anything either way so what’s the point?</p>
<p>@sumobats - I wouldn’t worry about them not reviewing your resume. I have never in over 20 years asked an applicant to bring a resume to an interview with them. If she sat and started talking to you, then you should feel okay. If she did not want to be there and wasn’t enjoying it, she would have cut it short. Also, I do sometimes find myself talking a lot about Yale during my interviews. You must remember, we are alumni and must love our alma mater to be taking the time out of our schedule to do interviews - and it shows.</p>
<p>@IxnayBob I understand what you’re saying. I’m just really anxious for the 16th(or whatever day it is) right now.</p>
<p>@chncsy, I understand how you you feel; my son and I were in the same situation last year. I was mostly just joshing. Good luck to all of you. </p>
<p>It’s hard to believe mid-December is so close. It feels like just a week ago I submitted my app.</p>
<p>@sumobats, I’ve never applied to or attended Yale, but it would seem that the best interview would be one where the interviewer spoke a lot about the school. At some point soon, you’re going to have to decide which among your acceptances you will attend. Web sites are informative, but hearing from a real live person who attended is a real opportunity. </p>
<p>My son’s quick decision to attend Yale was in part because of the vibe he picked up during interviews (he was lucky enough to have a senior and alum). </p>
<p>Maybe the problem is calling these meetings “interviews,” which might make someone liken them to job interviews. They are different. </p>
<p>Which region are you from? I thought all the interviews done by Dec 1. </p>
<p>I agree with @IxnayBob…last year there were more applicants in the early round to Yale and Stanford than Harvard…and yet, the applicants did not feel the need to “run up” the CC comments section nonstop…just tells you the chillaxed vibe at these schools…</p>
